Scientists have taken a striking step toward decoding visual information from the brain by reconstructing short movies using neural activity recorded from mice. Researchers at University College London (UCL) used signals from individual neurons in...

Earth’s surface is dominated by oceans, rivers and ice, but some of the planet’s water may be stored in a far less accessible place: nearly 2,900 kilometers beneath our feet. A new study published in...

A new theory about the Great Pyramid of Giza is raising eyebrows by suggesting that its architecture may contain a mathematical system linked to the Moon, stars and planetary cycles. Independent researcher Sefy Levy argues...

Deep beneath the leaf litter of a Thai forest, scientists have discovered a tiny flower that appears to have abandoned one of the most fundamental rules of plant life. The newly described species, Thismia daemona,...

A decades-old idea about the nature of consciousness is getting another look from scientists after new research suggested that quantum effects may persist in biological systems under conditions far warmer than once thought possible. The...

For decades, scientists have believed that the Moon formed after a planetary body called Theia collided with the young Earth roughly 4.5 billion years ago. The enormous impact blasted material into space, creating a disk...

A small herb growing in a shaded patch along Satargaon Road in Assam has turned into an important botanical discovery. Scientists have formally identified it as a species new to science, adding another plant to...

What if your next cookie were made from discarded plastic bottles instead of conventional ingredients? Researchers at Southern Illinois University Carbondale are working on a futuristic food concept that does exactly that — at least...

For nearly half a century, physicists have searched for a strange particle that would rewrite one of the simplest assumptions about matter: that particles are built from other particles. Now, researchers working with the BESIII...

More than 200,000 barrels containing radioactive waste were dumped into the Northeast Atlantic over several decades. Now, scientists are going back to the deep ocean to find out what happened to those containers — and...
